What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy helping people strive to do their best and achieve their goals I understand that certain concepts and subjects can be extremely challenging for students, and therefore I enjoy helping them to gain understanding and work towards a solution so they can aim to do their best. Additionally I enjoy helping others find tricks to help their comprehension of subjects so that they can continue to improve and develop their skills into the future.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My strengths are aiding children in discovering their own methodologies that work correctly for them. I am able to work with students in order to find solutions individually catered for their learning, so that into the future they are able to apply these solutions and thus enhance their understanding of concepts they are learning. In this way, I am able to help students individually find what works for them, giving them strategies to find the solution, rather than giving them the solution, aiding their problem solving skills, and knowledge of their own learning capabilities.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
A tutor can help build confidence for a child's capability giving them the tools to enhance their own learning. A tutor is there to facilitate the learning needs of a child, rather than giving them the answers, giving them a methodology that is applicable to many solutions, allowing the child to find the answer on their own and thus fuelling their drive and passion for their own education. The most important thing for a tutor to do with a student is to make sure that the student properly understands the concepts they are being taught, ensuring that their methodology is viable for that student.Subjects Tutored 🎓
